Hello and and today's drawing tutorial I'm going to talk about drawing mandalas
Some ways that I draw them, um some different tips that I have how to start them and some different patterns
So when you go to draw mandala
Basically, what a mandala is is it's a pattern that repeats itself over and over
It's usually symmetrical on all sides
So all the shapes from one side to the other side are usually the same
Although sometimes if you're drawing and you're making a small mistake
It's not that big of a deal if it's not exactly the same on all sides
Because it's really hard to do this when you're drawing. It's a lot easier to do it if you're doing a digital drawing
So I'm going to go ahead and show you the traditional way of drawing them in dollar
To start the mandala drawing you can draw a circle or any other type of shape such as a square or a triangle
so to start mine, I'm going to draw a circle and
Then from that circle I can branch off into other shapes that go all the way around the circle and
Make different shapes from it. So to start what I can do is I can just draw a shape like this
That looks like a flower petal
and
I can repeat that pattern over and over all the way around the circle
Another way of do if you're gonna start your drawing is to draw your circle and
Then instead of drawing the pattern over and over like I did there I can draw a small line
Like that and
Then from there I can then add my pedals
Depending on how many lines I have around the circle
So if I'm going to on Mandela and I was starting with the triangle same rule applies
But for this I'm going to be adding more triangles
And then I can repeat this again
Now when you're drawing them in dollars is probably the best to use something that is like a micron or
Maybe even something that's like a fineliner
you want something that has a fine tip because if using something that
Has a very large
tip to the pen with a marker that you using you're not really going to be able to draw very intricate details and
you know, the bigger bolder lines might be useful if you're doing a really large mandala say for or
for a big wall mural or something like that, but if you're drawing something small like
this you're going to want a
pen that has
Different pen sizes or nib sizes. The one that I have here is a
point zero five and
You can go all the way down to
You know the point zero zero five and then, you know go all the way up to like, you know
The bold lines where it's a a one
or larger
But personally, I usually use the point five and
usually between the point zero zero five to the 0.5 or
The 405 so
When you're doing these mandalas
You also want to remember that the type of ink that you're using or the type of pen that using
Will also affect your ability to draw the Mandela
Let's say for example, I'm doing a mandala and I'm using a gel pen
Now with a gel pen the ink is gonna be smear some in the paper
so if you're doing the drill and let's say
You have your pattern that you're drawing
Right and it was with a gel pen it's gonna smear as you can see with this I don't get any smearing at all
And so that's gonna help you draw more detail when you're doing them in dollars
You don't get a worry about getting ink all over the place or having lines that are messed up
And when I first started doing mandalas I
Started using the microns you can also use a fountain pen
But it's probably best to use a fountain pen. That doesn't have a
Flexible nib, for example. I have a lame-o safari fountain pen
That I have here and it doesn't have a flexible nib and it has no the standard nib and
If you have a flexible nib on your fountain pen
you're gonna have a hard time trying to do your mandalas because of the varying line width and
It's gonna take a lot of practice to get use that
But if you're a beginner
you wanted to have something that has a line with this always the same that doesn't change and
That's why I always like using the microns now. You can use any to any brand that you want it
It's just that this is the brand that I have with me that I use because it's very reliable
it's a name brand that has a lot of people trust and they don't have any problems with it and
Some people have said sometimes that these pens run out really fast, but I haven't really had much an issue with that
but then again, I do have a lot of our supplies and
When you start any mandala just remember that
You can
Just take your time. Don't be in such a rush to do it
so if I'm doing my mandala and
I'm gonna really big rush to get it done and I'm not really paying attention to the lines that I'm doing
Then if I start out like that and I'm no just a big rush. It's not gonna look very good. It's everything's gonna be off
As you can see there, none of the lines are even
symmetrical in any way
And if you're gonna be drawing mandala to slow down
Have a bit of patience
Just take your time
Enjoy lines
More slowly
And not worry so much about trying to rush to get it done
Because when you just take your time doing this you can focus a lot more and get more of the lines
accurate
more symmetry in our drawing
everything is gonna look a lot more detailed and it's just going to look better in the long run and
I've also been asked about when I'm enjoying them in dollars. What's going through a mind? Where do I get my ideas from and
Mandalas are more of a meditative type of drawing. You're just repeating patterns over and over
So for example, if you're drawing mandala, and you want to make a new shape
I can just grab another piece of paper and
On that piece of paper on the side
What I'll do is I can just think of a new shape that I want to add to it
so, for example, I can add something that's a
half crescent and that I control circle I
Had another line around it
Then I can go back into my drawing such as my mandala that I have here. I can add that shape to it now
Over and over
As simple as that even though mandalas look very complex and complicated
If you just break it down into repeating patterns over and over
it becomes much less complicated and very simplified and
That's really all in mandala is its de simplified lines and patterns that repeat are repeated over and over
to make it much more complex and
very complicated form of art and what I like about drawing mandalas is that
It's more relaxing and I don't have to worry so much about trying to make everything
To where like when you're drawing portraits or drawing something from real life
Or say you're drawing US still or you have a reference photo in front of you. You don't have to worry about making things
So accurate in the sense of how we see things such as for example if you see them in dala
You don't really see things in nature that looked like that unless you started Mandela like this word
There's a flower shape. But other than that, there's not really anything in nature. That looks like mandalas. There may be some patterns somewhat
but you don't really have
Those images or anything that are in our memory to where you can say. Oh
that doesn't look like a mandala to worry if you look at a portrait or a drawing of someone's face or
a figure drawing
You can look at that and you're able to recognize
that you know
this doesn't look like a person or
This doesn't look like a portrait or adjust for drawing and the reason is because of our ability to see patterns and recognize them
So when you see a portrait you're able to recognize that, you know, this doesn't look right
Based on our ability to see patterns and other faces and know that you know
if a portion is off or maybe the nose is too long where the eyes are too small you'll see those patterns and
once you see them over and over our ability to see that allows us to
Differentiate between a drawings proportionate one that's not proportionate
So when you see patterns in mandala as long as all the patterns are symmetrical and all the sides
It's not going to matter. What pattern is using because we don't really
You know, we don't really have those type of patterns in nature. So
Back to what? I was talking about simplifying the complex parts of the mandala and making it more simple to understand
so in your drawing mandala, there's all kinds of shapes that you can use you can use a
Circle
You can use a triangle you could use a square
You could use a rectangle you can even if you wanted to when you're drawing a mandala you could pick
you know organic shape or something from nature or
anything really and you could just put that into your mandala and
all in mandala is is repeating pattern over and over so if I wanted to
you know draw a face and then mind in the mandala and
draw that over and over I could do that or if I wanted to draw, you know, like say for example
I have my medulla and
I want to draw let's say I want to draw a pen
You could even do even it you can just draw anything you want just
Repeat the pattern over and over and you've got yourself a mandala
So just take simple
patterns
simple lines or simple shapes and just keep repeating them over and over and you'll have yourself a mandala and
If you keep acting this over and over
You'll you'll be able to have more patterns in your memory that you can draw
For example, if you're first starting it, we'll just be able to do circles and triangles
or let's say you're starting out and you have a triangle and
In that triangle you add more triangles and then you had more than outside
and
Then you just keep repeating over and over
Then after a while when you're doing that
You build up all these patterns in your memory and then the next time in draw
it just becomes automatic because the muscle memory and so for example if I'm drawing this mandala here and
I'm gonna draw another one
But I want to make it different
I'll think oh, hey, you know I started with the triangle and now
This time I want to draw my triangle with a line around it
And I can draw another one with a line around it
And then I'm like, oh hey
I'm doing this type of pattern
So you can take a triangle like this and just draw lines on the outside of it repeating over and over
You can do the same with a circle
Just keep drawing like that and you control your circle here and
Then repeat that pattern
So repeating patterns over and over and
Like I said, the more you do this and the more you keep practicing and keep drawing new patterns
you'll be able to remember them a lot better and
When you're doing your mandalas it will be
more relaxing and meditative
To where when you first start?
it might be a challenge because you're not sure of what lines to make what shapes to put into it and
One thing you could do if you want to practice your mandala drawings is have an extra
sheet of paper with you and just draw on that sheet of paper the
new patterns that you have and use that as a reference and I've done that for some women mandela's I'll have
The side of me when I'm doing my mandala drawings. I'll have a sketchbook in an S sketchbook
I have all my mandala designs and I can look back at that as a reference that if I go to draw another mandala
I have those patterns right there that I can take a look at as a reference and
Add those into the mandala have right now. So let's say I'm drawing them in dollar and I have a a
different pattern that I've designed
So there's been an example
and let's say that I
Want this?
um pattern here
to
Stay the way it is, but I wanted you use different patterns that are in another mandala
and I'm not sure which one to use so I can look back on all the sketches that I have before and
Then let's say oh and my other sketchbook. I have a know I pattern that's
Know maybe like this one here, or maybe it's a pattern like this and let's say for that drawing
specifically I want to use more triangle patterns so I can look back at it be like oh
I I like how that one looked but then I have this one here and I think to myself, you know
I like these repeating lines that go around it. And it kind of makes it look like a
Wavy pattern or something that's moving from the center. So what I'll do is I'll think of myself
Hey, I like that so I'm going to use that pattern there
Then add that to this drawing
It's kind of like files in their computer and
You can
Type it in on WordPad or whatever document having a computer. You can save your the different patterns
you've drawn type them out, but
the difference between just typing on your computer what patterns you have and
having a piece of papers of references that you actually have the drawing there beside you and
what you could do is if you have a digital drawing pad or
you know use your scanner you can just scan your
mandala designs and all the patterns that you have save that your computer and you can put into a
Document or a file like WordPad or or anything else and you can have all those patterns on there and you can add little
Notes underneath it. But if you wanted to do to do it the traditional way
You could just write it down a piece of paper have your sketchbooks beside you and then you have all the different patterns there
to add to any mandala design that you have and so I know the question I've gotten
about one of my drawing my mandalas is
what type of ink should I use and
The type of ink that you you should be an ink that dries fast it
Shouldn't be an ink that is
Going to bleed on the paper a lot or feather or I have
no smearing and
The ink that I'm using for the flame is Safari. It is an Euler zinc. It's called the heart of darkness
it dries pretty quick and
You don't want an ink that takes a long time to draw because then you're just going to get a mess everywhere
and so that's why I like using these microns because
You don't have to worry about line variation everything
to where as you might have a little bit of a problem with that with a fountain pen and
I think the problem that people might be running into with their fountain pens if they're doing mandalas is that
They're pressing too hard on the paper when they're drawing now
You're supposed to get a uniform line. If you're pressing really hard in the line width is changing with the fountain pen as nib
That's not supposed to bend then you're probably pressing too hard
Also what I like about the micron pens for drawing mandalas is that
the ink that's in it is our drivable and
They come in different nib sizes and the ink doesn't smear or anything. So I
Think if you pick up a pack of these I'll leave a link in the description of the video so you can find these online
But I think if you pick up a pack of these they come in the different nib sizes. You'll be fine
You can use any pen. If you want to it. Doesn't matter you could use a gel pen
You can use you know, even a ballpoint pen. It's just that for
consistency of the lines and
Not having to worry about smearing I will just use a pen such as a fine liner or a micron
now when you're using a ballpoint pen, the problem with the ball points is
That you have to press on the paper. And if you're doing with dolls, there's a lot of intricate designs and patterns in it
so if you're constantly no pressing on the paper over and over for an
Extended period of time your hand is going to get really tired and then it's going to cramp
and so that's why I advise that it's best to use the
fine liners or
No micron
or fountain pen for drawing them
So some other tips I have for drawing mandalas is
Listening to music
um, depending on if you're someone that can concentrate while they're drawing and
no wireless and the music
It it kind of depends. I mean it varies from person to person but for me if I'm drawing mandalas
It's always been easier for me to draw mandalas when I'm listening to music I can put on an album and
I'll have the album play for uh, you know
until it's done and then I'll queue up other albums and then I have those play and
Depending on the type of music that I have playing that's going to affect the type of mandala that I'm drawing
No, if I have some music, that's no heavy metal. I
Might be drawing more erratic and
Sketchy and fast
Tourism if I'm listening is something that's more relaxing then
my mandala drawings are going to be usually a little bit more intricate more detailed and
They take longer but at the same time I
More concentrated so it doesn't seem like it's taking as long
So as if I'm listening to like heavy metal or hard rock while I'm drawing my mandalas
Then you know it feels like it's taking a longer time to get done
but um
It's all up to you
It kind of depends on what you prefer music while drawing mandalas or music without drawing mandela's and that is a topic
I'll cover in another video is though
Listen to music while drawing
But those are some of the tips that I have for today for join mandalas
If you have any questions about the way, I'd roll mandalas if you have any
Suggestions or any other tips for drawing them. Just go ahead and let me know in the comments below this video
